NEW YORK--April 14, 2014: Chevrolet announced that the 2015 Cruze will debut at
the New York International Auto Show with revised exterior styling,
enhanced interior convenience and greater connectivity – including
new Text Message Alerts, Apple Siri integration and OnStar 4G LTE with
available Wi-Fi hotspot.

The new exterior styling cues are inspired by the all-new Impala and
restyled 2014 Malibu, while more intuitive controls update the interior.
New voice-controlled features enhance safety when responding to text
messages in the vehicle.

“We’ve simply made a great, versatile car even
better,” said Steve Majoros, Chevrolet director of passenger car and
crossover marketing. “Chevrolet continues to design, build and sell
the most compelling small cars in its history and the 2015 Cruze offers
more of the features, connectivity and efficiency that are important to
today’s customers.”

The Cruze’s facelift for 2015 refreshes the appearance for LS, LT,
RS and LTZ models. A prominent dual-port front fascia takes styling cues
from Impala and Malibu, contributing a more cohesive look across
Chevrolet’s sedan range – including LED daytime running lamps
on LT and LTZ trims. They complement the Cruze’s swept-back
headlamps, for a sportier presence. Several new exterior and interior
colors will also be offered for 2015.

Updates on the interior enhance convenience:

Revised cupholders make it easier to insert and remove cups Trunk
release relocated to the center console Door lock switches relocated from
the center console to the front doors.

Cruze offers more standard safety features than any other car in its
class, including 2014 models of the Ford Focus and Toyota Corolla. Cruze
has 10 standard air bags – including side-impact and knee air bags
for front passengers – and offers side blind zone alert, rear cross
traffic alert, rear park assist and a rearview camera.

“Cruze remains a strong entry in the compact segment, with
features that continue to bring new customers to Chevrolet,” said
Majoros. “Along with Spark, Spark EV, Sonic and Volt, Chevy’s
lineup of efficient, technologically advanced small cars is one of the
industry’s most compelling.”

A mobile hub with greater connectivity

The enhanced connectivity and convenience features for the 2015 Cruze
include a new Text Message Alerts feature for smartphone users with
Bluetooth profile (M.A.P.), which reads incoming texts through the
vehicle’s speakers, and Siri Eyes Free for iPhone iOS 6 and iOS 7
users to enhance connectivity and convenience. Each enables
voice-controlled connectivity, to help keep phones in pockets and hands on
the wheel.

OnStar 4G LTE with available Wi-Fi hotspot provides a mobile hub for
drivers and passengers with easy access to apps and services that require a
high-speed data connection. 4G LTE is the most current and fastest mobile
data network – 10 times faster than 3G. And with OnStar, it offers
stronger, broader coverage than smartphones on the same network and
it’s easy to use: If the vehicle is on, the connection is on,
allowing passengers to connect personal devices such as smartphones,
laptops and tablets, to high-speed wireless Internet. Each vehicle can
accommodate seven devices at one time.

The Chevrolet AppShop allows owners to view all available apps and
download them directly to the vehicle, then organize, update or delete them
as needed. Available apps connect drivers to vehicle data, music, news,
weather, travel information and more.

Small-car strategy producing big-time results

Cruze is the cornerstone of Chevrolet’s North American small-car
lineup, which is attracting a greater share of the market and more young,
first-time customers to Chevy showrooms. Cruze is also Chevrolet’s
best-selling car around the world, with more than 2.5 million sold globally
since its launch in mid-2010.

“These new customers are discovering the fun, value and durability
Chevy stands for,” said Paul Edwards, U.S. vice president, Chevrolet
Marketing. “In fact, Chevrolet is second among buyers under 25, as
the brand continues to grow share in the small-car segments.”

Collectively the lineup in America – including Spark, Spark EV,
Sonic, Cruze and Volt – saw a 15.4-percent increase in overall sales
in the first quarter of 2014. Since Cruze’s launch about four years
ago, and the additions of the Spark and Sonic, Chevrolet’s overall
share of the small-, compact- and mini-car segments has more than tripled
– up 221 percent – with nearly half of the customers new to
Chevrolet.

“The diversity of Chevrolet’s small-car lineups, from the
efficiency of the Cruze clean diesel and the pure electric performance of
the Spark EV, offers a driving solution for everyone,” said Edwards.
“With Cruze sales up 17 percent in the first quarter of 2014, the
updated styling and greater connectivity of the 2015 Cruze will accelerate
Chevy’s small-car momentum when it goes on sale this fall.”
